Just for my edification, what is/are the use case(s) for PCML vs. SQL

I ever would use it. SQL stored procedures seem to be more flexible and
platform-independent.

1. You don't need a SQL connection for PCML.
2. Ordinary programs can be called with PCML without any extra setup (assuming they are not interactive).
3. PCML handles data structure parameters very nicely.
4. PCML is very platform independent ... IIRC, it started life in JT400.
